In DMC1 he exploded. It is different from his teleportation in that the energy pushed out in all different directions and he screamed in pain until the end of that moment, unlike other times where he teleported away.

Bianco and Alto Angelo's were made from the fragments of him, that reference is on the Bianco and Alto Angelo page. This couple with the fact the he exploded in DMC1 makes him more likely dead than alive.
